How many bottles does DIAGEO sell every year?
what's the breakdown?

Request for Question Clarification by tar_heel_v-ga on 10 Nov 2004 06:38 PST
Are you looking for detail as to the number of bottles sold per brand
offered by Diageo, ie, how many bottles of Crown Royal, how many
bottles of Gordon't Gin, etc?  I can give you the number of units sold
for Smirnoff, Johnnie Walker, Guiness, Baileys, J&B, Captain Morgan,
Jose Cuervo and Tanqueray, however if you are looking for the
breakdown of sub-brands, ie, Johnnie Walker Red, Johnnie Walker Black
and Johnnie Walker Blue, that will prove to be a bit more difficult,
but I can dig.

If you can give me the numbers of units sold worldwide for smirnoff,
J.W., Guiness, Baileys, J&B, C.M., J.C., tanqueray, I will accept it
as 80% of the question (that's ok with you?)
I'll apreciatte if you can get the breakdown of sub-brands, most
important Jhonnie Walker.
Thanks

Bobbie,
Are you sure the numbers are units sold worldwide.

simirnof ice only in germany sold over 125,000,000 units since 2002
check: www.diageo.com/documentengine.asp?id=325

Dear Mld,

These are equivalent units.

?Volume has been measured on an equivalent units basis to nine litre
cases of spirits.

An equivalent unit represents one nine litre case of spirits, which is
approximately 272 servings.

A serving comprises 33ml of spirits, 165ml of wine, or 330ml of ready
to drink or beer.

Therefore, to convert volume of products other than spirits to
equivalent units, the following guide has been used:beer in
hectolitres divide by 0.9, wine in nine litre cases divide by five and
ready to drink in nine litre cases divide by 10.?

I hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Bobbie7
